Mod info tokens are used in a mod's info.txt file.

Tokens

Token Arguments Usage Description
ID id Required The ID of the mod. This should be unique, with no two mods sharing the same ID. IDs starting with "vanilla_" are reserved for vanilla raws.
NUMERIC_VERSION integer Required The numeric version of the mod.
DISPLAYED_VERSION string Required The version of the mod, as displayed in-game.
EARLIEST_COMPATIBLE_NUMERIC_VERSION integer Required{ The earliest compatible numeric version of the mod. Installed mods are automatically updated, if a later compatible version is available.
EARLIEST_COMPATIBLE_DISPLAYED_VERSION string Required The earliest compatible numeric version, as displayed in-game.
AUTHOR string Required[Verify] The name of the author (usually you).
NAME string Required[Verify] The name of the mod.
DESCRIPTION string A description of the mod, shown in the mod loading screen.
REQUIRES_ID string Mod cannot be used unless mod with given ID is also loaded.
REQUIRES_ID_BEFORE_ME string Mod cannot be used unless mod with given ID is earlier in the mod load list.
REQUIRES_ID_AFTER_ME string Mod cannot be used unless mod with given ID is later in the mod load list.
CONFLICTS_WITH_ID string Mod cannot be used if mod with given ID is also loaded.

Steam Workshop tokens

These tokens are used to get the mod to work on Steam Workshop.

Token Arguments Usage Description
STEAM_TITLE string Required The title of the mod on Steam Workshop.
STEAM_DESCRIPTION string The description of the mod on Steam Workshop.
STEAM_TAG string Any number can be used.
STEAM_KEY_VALUE_TAG string1,

string2

Any number can be used.
STEAM_METADATA string
STEAM_CHANGELOG string A changelog for the version you're uploading. This should be different each time you update a mod, and only include the changes in the new version. Steam Workshop congregates all version changelogs, so a full changelog can be seen there.
STEAM_FILE_ID string Required (subsequent times) Connects the mod to an entry on the Steam Workshop.

Generated automatically the first time you upload a mod to Workshop, do not include it manually. If you upload a mod with an existing STEAM_FILE_ID token, it will update the Workshop entry connected to the ID. You can presumably only do this if you're the original uploader of said mod.
